The mighty, cylindrical structure made of quarry stone was built in 1484 by Regensburg Bishop Heinrich IV von Absberg and once formed the northwest corner of the medieval city fortifications.
During the great fire on May 6, 1664, the tower lost its conical roof and its function as the bailiff's apartment. The tower was renovated in 1997 and has since housed the Arelape-Bechelaren-Pöchlarn City Museum.
In 1999 the Welserturm was given a modern roof based on plans by the architect Helmut Haiden.
